Excited to see my first first-author paper published in @PLOSONE 🎉 The first (of hopefully many) Pattar et al.
Thank you to all of my collaborators for their support in helping me get this important work across the finish line!

A study in #ASNCJASN analyzed the relationship between kidney function, measured by eGFR, and the risk of unplanned hospital readmission or death within 30 days post-discharge. Results found that heart failure was the primary reason for readmission among lower eGFR patients. kidney.pub/CJASN1032

Hospital readmission rates rise as eGFR declines among patients with CKD, according to @UCalgaryMed researchers @BrandonPattar @tharrisonmd.

Okey, so your ERCP failed to get biliary access 😞. How what do you tell the patient about the succes rate of repeat ERCP? 👉🏻 Outcomes of Repeat Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Following Initial Unsuccessful Cannulation: A Systematic Review link.springer.com/article/10…

In a universal healthcare system, women with stage 5 chronic kidney disease lose their usual survival advantage—especially at younger ages. Inequities in access to kidney replacement therapy may contribute to poorer outcomes.

When we aren’t doing our bench work, we try to show that women’s health research is underfunded. Here is our latest showing that over 15 years at CIHR (Canada’s major health funder) has funded 6.4% of grants in women’s health and 7.16% in 2023

Despite advances in trial design, women are underrepresented in cardiovascular research, especially for high-risk conditions like arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, and acute coronary syndrome.

Can EHRs prevent hospital readmissions? 🏥
Systematic review of 116 RCTs shows EHR-based interventions significantly reduce 30- and 90-day readmissions. A step toward safer, cost-effective care.

New meta-analysis of 116 RCTs (+200K patients) found interventions using EHRs can help reduce hospital readmissions (17% fewer in 30 days, and 28% in 90 days).
EHRs have the potential to improve patient & health system outcomes but more research is needed

Electronic health record (EHR)-based interventions were associated with a 17% reduction in 30-day all-cause hospital readmissions and a 28% reduction in 90-day readmissions. ja.ma/46hiAwm @BrandonPattar @ICDC_Research

New article: "The objective of this study was to estimate the association between serum testosterone and validated measures of cardiovascular health," in persons assigned female sex at birth using gender-affirming testosterone therapy, authors write: bsd.biomedcentral.com/articl…
